We met in high school as freshmen. We were good friends until junior year where we sat beside each other in Spanish Class. In class I would find any way to talk to him. Most of the time I would mess up the string on my drawstring bag (intentionally) and he would insist on fixing it for me. Long story short - we went to a bonfire at mutual friends house (10 yards from mine) and he insisted on driving me home. In that 10 second car ride he asked me to be his girlfriend!
In the evening at Buckingham Fountain in Chicago Illinois. Kassie’s Version: Perfect day, perfect night. I was only mildly suspicious. According to Tony I said “Yes” on repeat and took the ring out of the box and put it on my own hand. I honestly don’t remember that part because I was SO EXCITED AND HAPPY. Tony’s Version: I was nervous. I told her that I wanted to take a picture of her with the fountain in the back. As she turned around I got down on one knee and forgot everything I planned to say. I must have said all the right things because she said YES.
We are getting married at sunset in a private ceremony on the white sands of Sunset Beach, Treasure Island, Florida.
